EA’s team can assist facilities in developing their greenhouse gas inventories and required permit reports, conduct life cycle assessments, and develop outward-looking climate action plans articulating long-term goals and strategies. Our knowledge of the comprehensive sustainability reporting requirements supporting voluntary reporting to organizations such as the Global Reporting Initiative, Carbon Disclosure Project, or Sustainability Accounting Standard Board are beneficial to clients, as well as our benchmarking perspectives across a wide range of industries and sectors.
EA’s greenhouse gas management and planning services are focused in two areas:
Greenhouse Gas Reporting
- Compile greenhouse gas emission inventories for mandatory state and federal reporting under EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Mandatory Reporting Rule
- Establish organizational carbon emission baseline inventories and developing carbon footprint analyses
- Provide monitoring, measurement, and recordkeeping to track greenhouse gas emissions and effective data management
Carbon Footprinting and Climate Change Management
- Determine carbon footprint – quantify the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by a facility or accumulated over the entire lifecycle of a product or service
- Develop climate change and greenhouse gas reduction plans and strategies
- Evaluate mitigation options and carbon costs/benefits (includes technology modifications, switching fuels, energy efficiency improvements, and market tools [carbon offsets, credits])
- Rank options considering cost and potential future carbon costs/benefits
- Develop climate action or reduction plans and strategies
